Why a cruise is better than flying
I have come to the conclusion that going on one of those great premium luxury cruises is actually worth all the money as well as being a lot better than taking a plane there. What is it that makes it a lot better than flying?
There really is no need to turn up at the dock 4 hours before you are due to set sail as your bags are checked through quickly which is great compared to the airports. As well as this there is no waiting to get to your destination as essentially as soon as you board the ship you are at your hotel room and can lie down and rest or jump straight into the pool.
No more will you have to wait for the seatbelt signs to flicker off before food and drink is served as this is all avalible as soon as you get aboard. Free drinks are only available on planes if you are travelling long haul with one of the expensive airlines like BA or Virgin.
You get to feel the luxury of having legroom on a cruise ship! There is no worry about legroom on a ship as you are never restricted to space, even the cheapest of rooms are spacious.
If your in danger there are lifeboats to board and it saves jumping out of a plane and the likelihood of anyone being injured at all is extremely low. No need to worry about terrorism on a cruise ship, well not yet anyway! Nope as it stands at the moment all you need to be afraid of is pirates.
Of course there is the possibility of storms but hey when that happens just head downstairs and relax with a game of pool or a nice drink, or even both!
I have to admit I love flying and I would never say cruise every year instead of flying to your favourite destination but going on a luxury cruise is nice every so often and with Regent Cruises (the one I went with) you are sure to have a better time than on an aeroplane.
